November 16^th : Computer Lab Day

Students will work on the following activities

A.      Virtual Car: Velocity and Acceleration

This interactive activity developed for Teachers' Domain demonstrates how vectors are used to represent velocity (speed and direction) and acceleration. In the activity, vectors change in real time as you "drive" a car on a flat plain; as you change speed and direction, vectors originating from the car respond to your actions. A graph depicting speed vs. time also responds to your actions, displaying both the speed and acceleration of the car

Online Web Activity Assignment (Friction)  http://teacher.scholastic.com/dirtrep/friction

October 17th - October 21st

October 17^th – 21^st

Quick notes: Acids and Bases (add to Acids and Bases section of your ISN)

•       Who’s ever had heartburn or a bad stomach ache? Did you take a TUMS or Pepto-Bismol?

•       These are both antacids. They contain weak bases that sooth your heartburn by reacting with and neutralizing the acid in your stomach.

•       Acids and Bases Neutralize one another because the the H+ of the acid and the OH- of the base form H2O…WATER!

After quick notes review on acids and bases:

Video on Friction: Posing question

•       What would the world be like without friction? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUfqjSeeZng

Note=taking on Forces (ADD TO FORCE AND MOTION SECTION OF ISN)

If objects in motion tend to stay in motion, why don’t moving objects keep moving forever?

Things don’t keep moving forever because there’s almost always an unbalanced force acting upon them.

A book sliding across a table slows down and stops because of the force of friction.

If you throw a ball upwards it will eventually slow down and fall because of the force of gravity

Newton’s First Law of Motion:

MASS is the measure of the amount of matter in an object.

It is measured in Kilograms

The law states: Unless acted upon by an unbalanced force, this golf ball would sit on the tee forever.

What is this unbalanced force that acts on an object in motion? FRICTION

•      There are four main types of friction:

•      Sliding friction: ice skating

•      Rolling friction: bowling

•      Fluid friction (air or liquid): air or water resistance

•      Static friction: initial friction when moving an object

AIR RESISTANCE:

•      A type of frictional force that opposes the motion of objects that move through the air.

•      Causes objects to fall with different accelerations and different speeds.

•      Acts in the direction opposite to the velocity of an object moving in air.

·         Size of the force depends on the size and shape of the object

TERMINAL VELOCITY:

As an object falls, the downward force of gravity causes the object to accelerate. As the speed of the object increases, the upward force of air resistance also increases.

•       When the upward air resistance force equals the downward force of gravity, terminal velocity is reached – the velocity becomes constant.

Depends on the size, shape, and mass of the object.

HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT:

•       Read “Types of Friction” https://csoscience.files.wordpress.com/2012/10/3_friction10912.pdf

Video on Acids:

•       https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NddZ5ftQb0Q

•       Before the video, fill out the section for What do you know about acids?

•       After the video, discuss the after section

•       Complete the activity: Which are acids

Add to ISN (ACIDS AND BASES SECTION)

•       Indicators such as litmus paper can identify whether a solution contains an acid or a base.

•       The pH scale is used to describe how acidic or basic a solution is. (pH is also the measure of hydrogen concentration)

•       pH = 7    is neutral

•       pH > 7    is basic

•       pH < 7    is acidic

Quick Lab Check:

•       Is vinegar an acid or base?

•       When you used the blue litmus paper; what color did it turn?

•       Which color on the ph scale is vinegar closely corresponding with?

•       Conclusion:

Students were given a pH scale to label and color code to place in ISN.
